How I did it
How to launch stashmate.com
It took me
3 days
It made me
Thrilled!

How I did it: I wrote the initial version of StashMate myself, and I thought that's how it would stay.  But during KC Startup Weekend, I pitched the idea to a group of over 80 people - business developers, programmers, graphic artists, everyhing - and 5 people liked it enough to get involved.We found out quickly that my site, which is now OUR site, was too narrowly scoped.  There was a whirlwind of ideas on how to actually turn it into a work… Read how I did it…

How to clean up my desktop
It took me
1 day
It made me
more organized

How I did it: There were two parts.  The first is just taking the time to do it.  I have folders on the desktop that things belong in, including a "misc" folder where things sit and rot.  I put things there if I'm not sure I'll need them, and after 6 months I can remove the untouched items.The second part is that I scheduled a weekly reminder (on fridays) to re-clean my desktop so it says organized.

How to pay off car loans
It took me
1 month
It made me
destressed

How I did it: This isn't huge, I did pay off the mustang 3 months early but the van loan ran out on its own.  More important is what will happen from here - no new vehicles for a while, so no car payments!  And I think I'll drop the mustang down to liability coverage.  The van is essential, so I'll keep full coverage on that.

get my driver's license
Moved to a new state 8 months ago

I’ve been driving for years, but moved to Kansas City from Nebraska recently. Now I need a certificate of birth abroad from the State Department since my parents were in the air force and I was born overseas.

I mailed the notarized request this morning, so in 4-8 weeks (yay government) I should have my certificate. I’ll get my license that very same week.

Sent off the form 8 months ago

Today I sent off the form (DS-1350) to the department of state for my certificate of birth abroad. It’s proof of my citizenship even though my parents were overseas (air force) when I was born. 4-8 week processing time, but I did pay the extra for overnight delivery when the processing is complete.

One step closer to getting my KS driver’s license!

DS-1350 8 months ago

I was born overseas to air force parents stationed in Spain at the time. I need to get a special document from the Dept of State, since my actual birth certificate is in Spanish, and only proves my spanish citizenship!

I’ve never needed this before. My military ID sufficed when I lived at home, and my nebraska driver’s license worked after that. Now I’ve moved to kansas city, and I need it.
